It's a variation on the 'Thank God' we have in the Western world. Or the 'Allah Akbar' the Muslims have.
You think that Neutral (who even possessed her) would be pleased if she called an other deity?

If it moves but shouldn't: Duct tape. If it doesn't move but should: WD-40. With a hammer everything fits, and if it still doesn't fit: bigger hammer. If it can't be fixed with a hammer it's an electrical problem.

Gasp! That tail! I think Mrs. Nibbs is actually... A Jakkai!

On a different note, I wonder if we will see swimsuit Raine.
Re: Comic for August 24th, 2019: Farewell Party
In the comic? My guess would be not any time soon.
She's got some very serious things going on right now, and she's just discovered her cousin Rose is not only still alive, but is trying to help her. I'd say it might even be a while before we see her outside of her room.

"It's days like this that I thank God that I'm an atheist."Like people in the real world say "thank god" or "oh my god" without necessarily literally thinking "oh yes, I am thanking God!".

Poor Mike and evals. But they do seems genuinely Torn about this. Like a couple who is getting divorced not because they want but life has forced them too.
Ain't that sad.
Anyhow I think most of us are really fond of Nibss as this cute pet squirrel, and possibly baby dragon. Hanging with the group. And i do hope she stays like that. If she turns out to be some Eldritch abomination I am sure a lot people will be disappointed.
Finally we have never seen any sort of organized religion in the comic. No churches Temples or anything similar. I find that a bit strange not only because the mask are basically de facto gods but at the same time since a lot of the comic is inspired by DND that means there are no clerics in mekkan.

There are three things that motivate people: Money, fear and love.

I want to take a moment and say just how much better Tom's expressions have become. They're not just single emotion things anymore, they're complex, and more importantly they're readably complex, which is a feat on non-human faces.

Interestingly, a lot of the early comics had characters wearing crosses/crucifixes, in particular Sirus (here and here) and Raine (here)Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 5:39 pm Finally we have never seen any sort of organized religion in the comic.

We also get this description of Karen in the character bio page: [emphasis mine]
I take it from this that religion (and possibly religious conflict) *was* planned from the beginning to be an element of TwoKinds, but over time Tom either never got round to exploring it in the story, or decided it would be too complicated to bring in now, or decided that it no longer fit with the story and world he was creating. In fact, this later page depicting Raine meeting with group B for the first time shows her conspicuously *without* the crucifix from the original comic.She doesn't care about races or wars or religions.
So yeah... there are actually a number of plot elements and lore elements that were introduced in the first few years of TwoKinds that later got ignored / retconned. These include Keith secretly having a crush on Flora, feral Keidran and normal Keidran in "feral mode", Templar Towers being about controlling and suppressing Keidran instincts and their significance to the plot in general (as far as I'm aware, the canon now is that they're just mana reserves for templar to harness large amounts of magic, and the whole "instinct suppression" side has been all but forgotten), Trace experimenting with transformation magic, and as we see here: religion. (And there are probably some others too that I've forgotten about, like these here).
